Common questions in Beddington
Can you do a hog roast in Waddon Ponds?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Beddington?
Waddon station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, Beddington is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Your trader requirements
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
Beddington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
